President Trump downplays idea of allowing Bahamians fleeing the destruction of Hurricane Dorian into the US on humanitarian grounds.
President Donald Trump on Monday downplayed the idea of allowing Bahamians fleeing the destruction ofinto the United States on humanitarian grounds, hours after his acting Customs and Border Protection chief said it was worth considering.
"I don't want to allow people that weren't supposed to be in the Bahamas to come into the United States, including some very bad people and some very bad gang members and some very, very bad drug dealers."Earlier Monday, acting Customs and Border Protection chief Mark Morgan said during a press briefing that while there has not been any formal grant of temporary protected status, or TPS, for Bahamians affected by Dorian, it was not something he had ruled out.
The conflicting stances came a day after more than 100 Bahamians were forced off a ferry boat before it could reach Florida, according to two U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials.
